From Peace Village in Mesen, you run towards the green forests and fields of Palingbeek, just south of Ypres. From there, you continue to Polygon Wood and the Passchendaele Memorial Gardens, passing by the Tyne Cot Cemetery. You then cross the beautiful marshlands of De Blankaart before entering Diksmuide for the first time and approaching the Yser Tower. After another half marathon and a visit to the Viconia Clay Pits, a paradise for birds and wetland wildlife, you finish at the stunning Grand Market of Diksmuide.
The track is not very technical and there is not a lot of elevation gain. The main difficulties concern running exposed to weather for a prolonged time and the mental impact of long endless stretches of land.
Is 100 km too far for you to run solo? Turn it into a relay race and take turns at a supply station. A team consists of a maximum of 9 participants.
